Re: A way to clean up unnecessary files after compilation in CTX mkiv

["L.S.-Soc&Gam" <axteffekt@gmail.com>]

Thanks Hans,

it works. But there is a problem.
The way you described it, the *.synctex file gets deleted as well, but I 
think I need it for Sumatra PDF to sync. When I used texmfstart.exe and 
--purgeall this didn't happen.
Any idea would be great.

Thanks in advance,
Sebastian
